How Reliable is CoPilot® 2002?
The CoPilot map database is remarkably accurate, providing comprehensive, detailed street
information for the entire United Statesꢀ From the most populated cities to the smallest hamlets,
CoPilot map data has been created to support your travels wherever they may take youꢀ
Data Quality
Due to the complexity and constantly changing face of the United States road system, you
may encounter roads that have not been updated in the CoPilot map databaseꢀ That said, the
CoPilot map database boasts the following statistics:
--
--
--
--
Over 7 million miles of roads
Over 3 million Points of Interest
Over 300 million addresses
One-way street coverage in more than 100 metropolitan areas

About GPS Technology
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a tracking and navigation system developed by the
UꢀSꢀ Department of Defenseꢀ The system uses 24 satellites that orbit the earth, sending out
radio waves that can be picked up by GPS sensors (hardware devices for receiving data)ꢀ
Normally, a GPS sensor relies on receiving signals from four satellites simultaneously to
track its positionꢀ Each signal contains an identifier for the satellite that emitted it and the
exact time it was emitted (to the nanosecond)ꢀ GPS relies on the fact that radio waves travel
at the speed of light to calculate distances and the exact location of the sensor is figured by
combining the data received from three or four satellitesꢀ
Given the right conditions, a GPS sensor can identify your geographic position anywhere in
the worldꢀ GPS is able to give you the latitude, longitude and elevation of your present
location, as well as your road speed and direction of travel on a routeꢀ
WARNING:
CoPilot navigation instructions are only computer-generated advisories
and may contain errorsꢀ Obey all traffic regulations even if they are
completely contradictory to the navigation suggestionsꢀ Keep your eyes
on the road and hands on the wheel! Do not attempt to look at the
screen if you are the driverꢀ TravRoute® assumes no responsibility for
any damage or injury resulting from the use of this productꢀ
GPS Accuracy
The GPS signal CoPilot receives from the constellation of satellites has a rated accuracy of
10 metersꢀ This means that 95% of the time the reported location is within 10 meters (30
feet) of your exact positionꢀ CoPilot takes this location information and enhances it further
by "snapping" it to our street and highway networkꢀ Occasionally, CoPilot will place you on
the wrong roadꢀ If this occurs, keep driving and CoPilot will automatically correct itself and
find your proper positionꢀ
At times, CoPilot's GPS tracking will be less accurate or fail to work at all because the unit
is unable to receive satellite signalsꢀ However, the unit is resilient; eventually, it finds itselfꢀ
Its ability to report your location is directly proportional to its ability to receive accurate
line-of-sight satellite signalsꢀ Heavy foliage, buildings, or any other structures

obstructing satellite communications will interfere with CoPilot's ability to track your
locationꢀ Like your car radio, GPS tracking can also be affected by weather conditions if
severeꢀ CoPilot will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are availableꢀ NOTE:
The GPS unit should be placed far forward on the dashboard to maximize the satellite
reception areaꢀ
How CoPilot Uses GPS
CoPilot uses the GPS positional data it receives from the GPS receiver to display your
current position and route on a map as you driveꢀ This is called "tracking"ꢀ CoPilot also
uses the GPS data it receives to "navigate", that is, to guide you along your planned route,
provided you enter a destinationꢀ If you enter a destination you will be given navigation
instructions, and your route will be tracked on the mapꢀ If you do not enter a destination,
your route will be tracked as you drive, but you will not be given directions as CoPilot has
no way of knowing your destinationꢀ
A Safety Warning
Do not use this product in any way that interferes with safe and attentive operation of a
vehicleꢀ When used in a vehicle, do not place the GPS receiver, antenna, power supply, or
your computer where it may strike the driver or passengers if the vehicle turns sharply or
stops abruptlyꢀ This product is designed, manufactured, and intended as an aid to planning,
tracking, and following routes in privately owned vehiclesꢀ The accuracy of the map data,
driving directions, and GPS tracking system is insufficient for this product to be used for
automated navigation or in any situation in which the failure of the product could lead
directly to death, personal injury, or physical or environmental damageꢀ The driver must
remain alert at all times to actual road conditions and obey all posted signs and traffic
regulationsꢀ TravRoute® and its suppliers specifically disclaim any express or implied
warranty of fitness of this product for automated navigation or for aiding in the operation of
other than a privately owned vehicleꢀ

Guidance Mode
Start Navigating
If your GPS receiver is attached you're ready to start driving! The CoPilot navigation
system will guide you to the destination(s) you enter, and recalculate your route should you
miss a turnꢀ
Because CoPilot needs to know where you're going in order to give you navigation advice,

A Sample Trip
Suppose you and a friend want to go to a concert on the campus of Princeton University in
Princeton, New Jerseyꢀ You know the approximate location of your destination, but you're
unfamiliar with the areaꢀ There's no need to worry about the trip: CoPilot will guide you
every step of the way!
First, you enter your destinationꢀ (You won’t need to enter a starting place – if your GPS
receiver is picking up signals, CoPilot already knows where you're starting fromꢀ) In
Guidance Mode, your friend clicks Destination, then Add, then Point of Interestꢀ She
types “Princeton University” in the POIs that start with box and clicks Findꢀ In a few
seconds, CoPilot finds “Princeton University” in the database and your friend clicks Select,
then Add, and then Go!
Now you're ready to drive to your destination!
Once the car is moving, your location shows up as a series of arrows drawn on the mapꢀ A
green-highlighted line from your present location to your destination shows the route for
you to followꢀ In addition, CoPilot prompts you before each turn if Speaking is turned onꢀ
CoPilot leads you into Princeton without a problemꢀ However, as you drive along
Witherspoon Street approaching the center of town, you see a traffic jam caused by an
accident up aheadꢀ You decide to turn onto Wiggins Street in order to save some timeꢀ
No Problem! Within seconds, CoPilot tells you that you are no longer on the correct route
and automatically gives you new directions to follow from your new position (illustrated on
the next page)ꢀ You still get to the concert on time and enjoy a relaxing trip!

this quantity of landmarks in the driving directionsꢀ TIP: The more places you want
reported, the more time it will take to generate the driving directions and map for your tripꢀ
You can also select which categories of landmarks you want reportedꢀ Place a checkmark
next to each category to be included by clicking in the box next to the category nameꢀ

Helpful Hints
ENTERING LOCATION NAMES THAT INCLUDE ABBREVIATIONS: Usually you
will need to spell out words like “Saint,” “Mount,” “Fort,” etcꢀ Place names generally need
to be spelled out; for exampleꢀ “John Fꢀ Kennedy International Airport” instead of “JFK
Airportꢀ” Try alternate spellings if your entry isn’t accepted the first time, or pick your
place from the list under Your search foundꢀ
ENTERING INTERSECTIONS AS ADDRESSES: To enter an intersection of two streets
as a start or end place, or a stop, type the names of the streets separated by a space and
ampersand; eꢀgꢀ Washington & Nassau or washington rd & nassau stꢀ
ENTERING ROUND TRIPS: To run a round trip automatically, click on the Round Trip
check box in the lower right hand corner of the Trip Planner window before running your
routeꢀ To turn off the round trip option, click on the box againꢀ The round trip will include
all intermediate stops on the way to your destination, but go directly from your destination
back to the start placeꢀ
ROUTING THROUGH SELECTED PLACES: CoPilot gives you the option to route
through locations that don’t show up as stops on your driving directionsꢀ We call these “via
stopsꢀ” To the right of each stop on the Trip Itinerary you’ll notice the word Reportꢀ To
change a reported stop to a via stop, highlight it and press the <space bar> on your
keyboardꢀ To change it back to a reported stop, press the <space bar> againꢀ
MAKING A LIST OF FAVORITE PLACES: CoPilot lets you create a “favorite places”
list of up to 25 places, with or without street addresses, for faster trip entryꢀ To add a place
to the list, first enter it in your Trip Itinerary, highlight it, and click Add Favꢀ The next time
you want to enter this place as a stop on your trip click on the Favorites tab and double-
click the place nameꢀ When the number of places on the list reaches 25, each new place
will eliminate a place from the bottom of the listꢀ
ADDING CUSTOM PLACES: CoPilot gives you the ability to add your own custom
names to the map databaseꢀ A custom place name can be entered as a start place, end place,
or intermediate stop (see page 35)ꢀ

Trouble-shooting
First things to check: Are all cables properly secured? Do all components have adequate
power? Does your GPS receiver have a clear view of the sky? (Buildings, mountains and
heavy foliage may block your satellite receptionꢀ)
Why can't I get a satellite reading the first time I use CoPilot?
The first time the GPS receiver is used it can take approximately 15 minutes to acquire a
signalꢀ This should not be the case with subsequent usesꢀ
Why does it take so long to find the satellites?
When the GPS unit is first initialized it can take several minutes for the receiver to locate
the satellites in orbitꢀ Be sure that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed view of the skyꢀ
What do I do if the computer will not recognize my voice commands?
First make sure the necessary speech software is installedꢀ From the Windows Start menu,
go to Settings/Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, and check for Watson on the
list in the Install/Uninstall tabꢀ If it is not there, you will need to uninstall/reinstall CoPilot,
being sure to click OK when prompted to install the speech softwareꢀ Next, in Planning
Mode go to the Edit menuꢀ Select Preferences and then select Speechꢀ Make sure the
boxes next to Listen for voice commands and Speak feedback out loud are both checkedꢀ
I have two hard drives and would like to install the Data to my second hard drive
How do I do this?
Note: For the instructions below, C represents your first hard drive and D represents your
second hard driveꢀ
Once CoPilot has been installed on the first hard drive (C) follow these simple instructions:
1ꢀ Insert a Data CD (East or West) into the CD-ROM driveꢀ
2ꢀ Double click on My Computer
3ꢀ Double Click on your CD-ROM driveꢀ
4ꢀ Double click on the Install folderꢀ
- 41 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
5ꢀ Double click on the SETUPꢀexe file and an "Installation Wizard" window will appear and
guide you through the processꢀ
6ꢀ In the "Choose a Data CD Location" window click on BROWSEꢀ
7ꢀ Delete the default drive letter and replace it with the letter of your 2nd hard drive (D in
this example) that you want to install the Data CD to and click on OKꢀ
8ꢀ Click Yes to create the directory if promptedꢀ
When I try to run CoPilot I get a message that says “CoPilot 2002 Can't Find the
Data CD”, and the program won't start What can I do?
1ꢀ Is the Data CD in the CD-ROM drive?
Aꢀ If yes, see question 2 belowꢀ
Bꢀ If no, place a Data CD (East or West) in your CD-ROM drive and try using CoPilot
againꢀ If you are still having trouble once the Data CD is in your CD-ROM drive, see
question 2 belowꢀ
2ꢀ Is the underside (the side without artwork) of the Data CD clean?
Aꢀ If yes, see question 3 belowꢀ
Bꢀ If no (you see lint or finger prints), you can clean the CD by using a soft, clean piece
of lint free material slightly moistened with waterꢀ Place the Data CD in the CD-ROM
drive once it is dry and try using your TravRoute program againꢀ
If you're still having trouble, see question 3 belowꢀ
3ꢀ Is CoPilot looking at the right drive when trying to read the Data CD? To check, please
follow the instructions listed below:
Aꢀ First, we need to determine the drive letter of your CD-ROM driveꢀ (If you already
know your drive letter, move to step B on the next pageꢀ)
To do this:
1ꢀ Go to your Start button/Programs/Windows Explorerꢀ In the upper left hand
corner of your screen, you'll see a white box (it may have a drive displayed in it)
with a black arrow just to the right of the white boxꢀ
- 42 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2ꢀ Click once on the black arrow so that all of your drives are shownꢀ Your CD-
ROM drive is the one that has the CD-ROM icon next to itꢀ And next to the
CD-ROM icon, there should be a letter - this is your CD-ROM drive letterꢀ
Please remember it and move to section Bꢀ
Bꢀ Next, you need to check that CoPilot is looking to this drive to locate the Data CDꢀ
To do this:
1ꢀ Go to your Start button/Programs/Windows Explorer and click on the drive
letter which corresponds to your hard drive (usually C)ꢀ
2ꢀ Within drive C, find the folder Program Files and double-click on it so that
all of your program folders are listedꢀ
3ꢀ Find the "TravRoute" folder and double-click on itꢀ
4ꢀ Find the folder "CP2002" and double-click on itꢀ
5ꢀ Find the folder APP and double click on it
6ꢀ You'll see a file named "dataꢀcfg" listed among other foldersꢀ Double-click on the
dataꢀcfg file--Windows will open a new window and prompt you to select a
program to open the file withꢀ Scroll down the list of programs and select
Notepadꢀ
7ꢀ The second line of the file should read: "LRGridDir"="E:\Data"ꢀ Make sure the
letter between "=" and ":" is your CD-ROM drive letterꢀ If the drive letter is
incorrect, change it to the correct letterꢀ Go to file and click on SAVE AS, and
then click Save, and then click on Yes to save over existing fileꢀ
8ꢀ Close Windows Explorer and run CoPilot normallyꢀ
CoPilot keeps saying "No GPS signal Please check the power connections" OR I
keep getting the error message "bad handle pass to Com function " What should I
do?
This indicates that CoPilot is not getting GPS data from the antenna/receiver either because
the GPS unit is not getting power, or because the GPS data is not getting from the antenna/
receiver into your laptopꢀ
1ꢀ Is the GPS unit getting power?
Aꢀ If you are powering the GPS unit through your car's cigarette lighter, you car needs
to be turned on and the adapter needs to fit snugly into the cigarette lighterꢀ
- 43 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Bꢀ If you are powering the GPS unit through your laptop's PS/2 port, make sure the
connection is snug and that your laptop's battery has enough powerꢀ If you've checked
the power supply, and it is sufficient, see question 2ꢀ
2ꢀ Is the GPS unit plugged into the serial or USB port?
Aꢀ The serial port is a 9-pin port usually on the back of your laptopꢀ One end of the
GPS unit cord should have a 9-pin head that should plug easily into your serial portꢀ If
you've checked the port connection, see question 3ꢀ
3ꢀ Are the port settings correct for the Com port?
Note: CoPilot uses Com 1 as the default Com portꢀ Some computers may have more
than one Com portꢀ You will need to test each Com port starting with Com 1ꢀ
Aꢀ Click on the Start button, Settings, Control Panelꢀ
Bꢀ Double-click on the System iconꢀ
Cꢀ Click on the Device Manager tabꢀ
Dꢀ Click on the "+" sign next to Portsꢀ
Eꢀ Click on Com 1 so it's highlighted and click on the Properties button belowꢀ
Fꢀ Under the General tab in Device Manager make sure it says this device is working
properly under Device Statusꢀ Next, under Device Usage make sure there is no check
mark in the box Disable in this hardware profileꢀ
Gꢀ Click on the Port Settings tabꢀ The settings should read as follows
-- Bits Per Second = 4800
-- Data Bits = 8
-- Parity = None
-- Stop Bits = 1
-- Flow Control = Hardware
If the settings are different you need to make the necessary changes, then click OK
and restart your computerꢀ
4ꢀ Are you using the correct Com port for the GPS unit?
To check which Com port to use with the GPS unit follow the directions below:
Aꢀ Go to your Start button/Programs/Accessories/Communications/Hyperterminal
Bꢀ Double-click on the file Hypertermꢀexe to open the programꢀ
Cꢀ Enter a name (any name) and click OKꢀ

Dꢀ Next at the bottom where it says Connect using select direct to Com 1 and click OKꢀ
Eꢀ Next in the Com Port Properties window the settings should read:
-- Bits Per Second = 4800
-- Data Bits = 8
-- Parity = None
-- Stop Bits = 1
-- Flow Control = Hardware
If the settings are different you need to make the necessary changes and then click
OKꢀ If the GPS unit has power and is able to connect, you will see information flowing
across the screen (random letter and numbers)ꢀ If you do not see any information flowing
across the screen, go back to step E above and repeat those same steps, trying other Com
ports (2,3,4) until you find the correct oneꢀ
Fꢀ Once you have found the right Com port (1,2,3, etcꢀ), please do the following:
1ꢀ Open CoPilotꢀ
2ꢀ Go to the GPS menu and click on the Status tabꢀ
3ꢀ Make sure that the Com port number is the same one you found above (1,2,3, etcꢀ)
in the Hyperterminalꢀ If it is different use the drop down menu to change the Com
port and click the Close buttonꢀ Next exit the program to accept the changesꢀ You
should now be able to use CoPilot normallyꢀ
4ꢀ If you have a Palm Pilot, you need to close Hot Syncꢀ Note: Hot Sync manager may
be in your Start up folder causing the Hot Sync manager to enable each time you
start your computerꢀ If you do not wish to manually disable the Hot Sync manager
each time you will need to delete it from the Start menu:

bꢀ Click on your C: Drive or the drive Windows is installed toꢀ
cꢀ Click on the Windows folderꢀ
dꢀ Click on the Start Menu folderꢀ (If no folders appear click on Show Filesꢀ)
eꢀ Click on the Programs folderꢀ

Can I use a different GPS unit with the CoPilot? If not, why?
There are three main reasons why our software is designed to work with our hardware only:
1ꢀ Product qualityꢀ Because our software and hardware are developed as a complete
navigation solution, the two components can be tightly integrated to give our customers the
best overall user experienceꢀ
There are a lot of GPS manufacturers out there and not everyone adheres to the same
standard of high qualityꢀ For one version of our laptop product we did indeed sell the
software so that it was compatible with the industry standard GPS receiver, but found that a
number of users had negative experiences with incompatible or low-quality "industry
standard" receiversꢀ
We couldn't guarantee a positive experience for our customers and the slight increase in
sales did not seem to balance the dissatisfaction of our loyalcustomer baseꢀ
2ꢀ Product reliability and safetyꢀ If we can't predict the exact hardware configuration our
customers are using, we can't predict the performance of our productꢀ This poses a serious
safety issue since our customers are typically driving cars or large RVs while using our
productꢀ If a laptop starts throwing errors and distracting our customers while they're
driving 65 mph, it can lead to dangerous scenarios for our customers that we just aren't
willing to riskꢀ
3ꢀ Copyright protectionꢀ TravRoute's software is what truly separates it from the rest of the
packꢀ We strive to protect our intellectual property just as any other software developer
does; this is especially important given the ease with which software can be replicated
todayꢀ
